Comments	Old Gin House a colorful hotel, but in need of good maintenance. Breakfasts not great, although new Mexican chef is offering good lunch and dinner options. Diving good, but not excellent. Tropical wave went through island, so I could only dive half the package. Last dive, visibility was around 6 feet. Asked for a refund, did not get it. Just a voucher for 2 free nights (for the nights I did not use the hotel,since I decided to leave for St. Maarten). However, the voucher had to be redeemed before the end of 2008 and did not cover missing dives. Not much to do on the island. Divemasters were pretty good and friendly. Islanders also. However, the level of service and maintenance at Old Gin needs a substantial boost.
